Florida is a great place to find obscure vinyl of lounge entertainers which was pressed in profundity back in the day for the tourists who flocked to the beaches. This Arnie album is now regularly found on "tiki" websites. Priceless cover.

Formed as The Mutineers at Southeastern Oklahoma State University in '62. I'm thinking that's where Dennis Rodman went to college, and if this is true, then 6 of my heroes went to school there!

Hope you enjoyed this show. I know there are those of you who are disappointed when I don't do shows with interviews and sound edits and all that. It bothers me too as that is my favorite type of program to create for you. I have been pretty slammed at my day job though and will be for a couple of more weeks. Bear with me. I really do appreciate your listening. Remember to pledge during marathon in a few weeks. I'll need your support and so will FMU. The straightniks are really putting the screws to public stations these days. Don't let WFMU fall by the wayside! PS. I'd love to hear from you! Please e-mail me dusty@wfmu.org or call the DUSTY SHOW ANSWERING MACHINE and leave a wacky message I can play on the show. 201.521.1375
Until next time take care and always remember.
